[QUOTE="LeinieGuy, post: 1326744, member: 627847"] Quick preface: Put me in the crowd of utterly disappointed at the demise of the Chief. This termination of "War Chant", on first hearing the news, made me do a huge eye roll, and feel like many -- "what's next??" That aside, I would REALLY like a new musical piece / anthem that can fire up the crowd at football and basketball games. (War Chant is ingrained tradition, but it had to start somewhere. I also agree with many on here who said War Chant was a bit awkward in its timing and placement.) It would be cool to see the start of a new musical tradition, and kids 80 years from now will have no idea about the origin, but they get shivers whenever they hear it. Calling all composers......
